They've made it so you can take a break and enjoy a cup on a hot day. I could feel the owner's thoughtfulness and it put me in a good mood before I even walked in! ![Seating inside Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-daemyeong-hanjeongsik-couple/cafe-dongi-daemyeong-hanjeongsik-couple-06-1msit-966.webp) ## Inside Cafe Dongi: café-style room with solo seats The inside of Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch felt more like a café than a Korean rice restaurant. There are 2-tops, 4-tops, group tables, and even single seats for solo diners. ![Café-style interior decor at Cafe Dongi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-dongi-daemyeong-hanjeongsik-couple/cafe-dongi-daemyeong-hanjeongsik-couple-07-9sgfg-966.webp) The interior also felt more café than restaurant.
